Vote for me and I’ll put gasoline in the drinking fountains!
May 5, 2008 by Andy
Watching the presidential candidates promise voters cheaper gas reminds me of when I was in the third grade, watching a couple sixth graders give speeches about why they should be elected class president. One promised to put soda pop in the drinking fountains.
Thing is, I bet if you put it to a vote most Americans (and certainly most politicians) would rather have soda pop in public drinking fountains than, say, build more nuclear reactors or stop buying SUVs or stop using the highways to do the railways’ job.
We’re just that stupid.
